The bearings look the same size .the washer was flattened a few times as every time you take it out it gets bent from the slide hammer .i noticed the inside of the axle tube the place were the washer stops is sloped we’re it was machined and maybe it pushes the washer out of centre when the bearing gets put in .going to give it another try today . I am lucky that I have another tube to look at so I took one end apart to compare and it looks the same.Thanks for the input it helps me keep at it.Kevin
